Never ever have a pinion gear on the motor. You should have removed that first then tune or change your esc. This would have prevented the motor from turning thus saved your esc from smoking. As soon as it took off you should have shut it down fast. Your qs8 connectors, when you were connecting them, you need to have the other side connected. The heat moves the pins. Keep them aligned by connecting them together next time. So when you soldier them together it should look like as if you had the battery plugged into a running car. That will keep your pins from moving with the heat.
Bummer ! Those esc's are hard to get now . I recently had an expensive ceramic bearing (new ) fail on the diff and it did similar damage , but my esc survived . Maybe pull the spur off before while setting up new electronics !
I had the same thing happen to me. I rev the m17. It seems logical to do and somethings ive done when i fly drones. But apparently not in drag cars. Lol.
DANG BROTHER I AM SAD TO HEAR THAT AND I HOPE THAT YOU GET IT FIXED UP AND BACK TO RACING 🏁 GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER ALWAYS AND FOREVER 🙏✝️ SINCERELY CLAY B. AND SPEED MOB RACING 🏁
Man i feel your pain. I've done similar things. Also, setting up a drag car isn't as easy as people think. A lot goes into that 132FT pass. It's so much more than just pinning the throttle and going straight. VERY much admired your message at the end of the video. Agreed with every single word, subbed immediately
Sweet car! Dang that sucks tho but that’s RC hobby it happens to the best of us. Know you’ll get it lined out

Routine maintenance would've prevented all that. What a waste.
Nah man it’s a poor esc’s fault….it shoulda took it fine…thanks for letting us know not to buy one
